Samsung SGH-T659
Looks like the Katalyst not t809
This phone is chosen as a replacement for the t809. Really should be a Katalyst replacement as it looks the same in firmware and phone-body looks. It's not that bad of a phone. If you can get one on tmobile id say to get it.
Pros:
Camera
Call Quality
Text messaging
Cons:
None that I can find
Now this is from reviews and I've never owned the phone but its sweet.

My Review:
Coming from a Nokia 5310, I think I found my cellular soul mate. This phone is my personal PDA, and even though it is not perfect, I still find it the best Samsung Phone yet.
Like Kent German (CNET Cell Phone Reviewer and Senior Editor for CNET.com) said, The body of the phone is outdated. I say Samsung should have made this phone into a flip phone or maybe a touch screen phone.
If anything, This phone may be right for you, looking for just a little more than average phone. I recommend buying the phone.
BUT if you like using the USB to download music onto your phone, Consider the Samsung BEAT or the any Samsung phone that COMES WITH a USB to Computer cord.
Thank You.
